by Börries Albrecht Conon August Heinrich, Freiherr von Münchhausen (1874 - 1945)

Anna
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Was ich jemals hab' empfunden, 
Was ich litt und was ich bin, 
Alles hat nun heimgefunden 
Zu der blonden Königin.  

Was mein Leben einst gewesen, 
Was mich früher auch durchglüht, 
Alle Sehnsucht ist genesen, 
Alles wilde Wünschen schied. 

All die stürmische Gedanken, 
Wie verflogne Vögel tun, 
Ducken sich in deine schlanken 
Hände, drin sie selig ruhn! 

Confirmed with Die Balladen und ritterlichen Lieder des freiherrn Börries von Münchhausen, Berlin: Egon Fleischl & Co., 1910, page 217.
